Cassadaga Wind Farm hearing to be televised

Public hearing comments on the proposed Cassadaga Wind Farm will be aired on Access Channel 5 at 12:35 p.m. and again at 6:35 p.m. each day from Saturday through Jan. 27.

Some 21 concerned citizens spoke to a three-judge panel, for or against the project.

EverPower Wind Holdings LLC is completing the final steps for a wind project of some 58 giant wind turbines (330 feet each) to be constructed over 40,000 acres of farm and recreation land in the towns of Cherry Creek, Charlotte, Arkwright and Stockton. Area residents expressed concerns over potential falling property values, sleep deprivation and other health impacts from noise and blade flicker, bat and bird kills, etc. Union members praised the project, citing jobs that would be created.

Public comments can be sent to secretary@dps.ny.gov until March 7.

The Jan. 9 meeting was filmed by Snowshoefilms, a Mayville-based film group.
